Hey, I completed my first main crew rainbow with Riker: immortal grey through purple, fully equipped gold (Will Riker, Commander Riker, Jazz Riker, Augment Riker, Admiral Riker)
I’m close to completing a Spock rainbow, very close to equipping mirror Spock.
Do you guys have any goals as a vip 0s that you are close to?
Update: I have a Riker rainbow, a Spock rainbow, and just completed an Odo rainbow.
I've got three crew on the verge of a rainbow, all of them need a legendary variant: Jadzia, Wesley and Chakotay.
My main goal is to rank higher in events than non VIP0 players.
I have no way of finding this out... But when I rank sub 350 twice in the last month... I gotta be smug!
Plus I have loads of good crew now. My next goal is to immortalise the voyage only crew... Just so I can freeze them and make more space!

I’ve already immortalized one voyage exclusive (gralik, I think).
Spending honor on citations to immortalize voyage exclusives may hurt in the short term compared to citationing a 3/4 non exclusive, but not as much as getting a duplicate behold star for someone you immortalized through a citation.
Having all 1, 2, and 3 star crew immortalized, my current goal is to immortalized all 4 star crew available to VIP 0 players. I'm about 10 short of needing a first copy, then I just need to finish fusing them all up.

Hey @Stellar Ice and all the other vip0. How many crew slots do you have? What’s your policy on five stars?
For the record, I have 90 slots and I haven’t purged any five stars yet. Really thinking hard about dancing units though.
I have airlocked many 5*s over the last few years to keep lower star crew. These days I try to keep all of them though.
All of my immortalized crew are unique.

I have 100 slots, 205 unique immortals, and I doubled (tripled/etc..) up on immortalizing 29 additional repeat common crew (and immediately froze them) in order to hit the Immortalize Achievement for dilithium to buy the aforementioned slots. The Skirmish event and slot sale at the beginning of June made a lot of it possible.... through May I only had 80 slots.
With the recent crew slot sale, as a vip 0, I have a lot of 3/4 from event thresholds, especially recently released crew.
Do you guys find it a better use of honor to wait for a portal update so that you can immortalize these 3/4 without honor, or to just spend honor to free up a crew slot?

Hope you were able to temporarily relieve crew slot pressure with the recent slot giveaway and half off sale.
But to your question, it’s a case by case basis for me. If the 3/4 is useful and carries a lot of water for me, I don’t worry about spending the honor. If a 3/4 is very much deadweight, 2-skill, etc... then it’s more likely I’ll spend the honor to freeze them.
Some 3/4s I find incredibly useful on Voyages, Gauntlet and on away/shuttle missions. I’ve had 1701 Jadzia at 3/4 for over a year and almost hope I never FF her so I’m never tempted to freeze her.

Personally, I cite all event 3/4s during their event to get the best bonus during their event. But I'm also catching 'em all.
Many other of my VIP 0s will keep them at 3/4 and FF them after they're in the portal. It really is a matter of weighing their usefulness in your crew with the amount of honor and slots you have to determine what is best for you.

Congrats on getting 4th shuttle for a VIP 0. But how? How do you get Dilithium without money???
I've hit VIP 14 yesterday, and it's a shame, not an achievement for me. But I've collected enough Dilithium to buy a 4th shuttle (don't ask me where did I spend all that Dilithium I've bought). And there was a crew slots sale, so I have 210 slots now.

DB were handing out dilithium last year (or 2 years ago?!) for a whole bunch of apologies, before the achievements came into the game. Since then, dilithium acquisition is mostly from immortalizing crew. I have 100 slots and 3 shuttles, and have saved up the enough achievements and collections to almost have a 4th shuttle. I just need to get another couple of thousand honor to get a final star for Romulan Sarek Kevas, use the freebie citation for Andorian Weyoun Shran and I'll complete the veteran collection for 72 dilithium. Bingo, 4th shuttle!
And yes, as a VIP0 I started off buying slots first before realising how useful more shuttles can be! For reference, I've got 4 immortal golds (Mirror Picard, Surak, Darth Bashir and Meltyface Ruafo), 2 4/5 a day a 3/5... All from mega events. I've got a couple of 1/5 at level 100 for their scores I needed at the time, but in total I only have 12 golds. Almost all grey, green and blues completed, and a load of purples completed, enough to have reserves in the freezer if needed (pulling Spock out this week after I freeze some Dominions). As many of the people here on this thread have kindly advised me, you need to be ruthless dumping purples - I used to keep too many at 1/4 'just in case I get another one'... They just use up crew slots, which are precious at VIP0!
I have resorted to airlocking any 3/4 from events just due to space. By the time they arrive in the portal, I will have had a better chance at FF existing crew.
Crew slots are a premium, and with the number of golds I have, 3/4s are mostly useless to me.

Another option to consider for Faction and Skirmish events is to spend 18,000 Honor to immediately Immortalize each of the new 3/4 Threshold characters.
I thought about that... But then realised that it's better to save for 50K for a gold citation. I have more 1/5s than 3/4s and according to my spreadsheet, even a 2/5 would probably fare better than a frozen 4/4

So, another VIP0 question: which Mega Legendary did you FF first?
I haven't FFed any yet.
If it helps, I took a sabbatical from STT, so I don't have Mirror Picard and I don't have T'Kuvma.
I started last October, so my T'Kuvma is only 2/5. My first immortalized 5* was Mirror "Gun Show" Picard because of the free Picard sent out. It was after that I went to a monthly card and periodically doubled mega event 5*. Before that I was VIP0.

I took a fairly lax attitude for a long time and missed Borg Queen, so got Kortar at 3 stars, T'Kuvma and Cornwall at 4, and the free Picard got me him at 5. For the ones since, I cited them and got them maxed
I’m actually planning to cite minuet for my first legendary immortal. Why? Because her immortal stats are kind of lackluster, and I don’t want her burning a crew slot hoping for a fifth star.
Or, you could always airlock Minuet. Investing 50k honor for freezer crew seems like a huge waste.
Awwww don't say that, my completing-nitis compels me to finish her! You are right, but I still have only a few golds so having one which I can get at 4/5 for "free", or at least playing 4 events, is worthwhile FFing.
So, I completed my first series rainbow by immortalizing Minuet.
VIP 0 Question about crew management. Aside from b’etor and three star Sisko, I have immortalized all 1, 2 and 3 star crew. I have 110 crew slots.
My main goal is to immortalize as many purples as possible. As such, I actively try and stay away from ranking top 1000, since I don’t have the slots to support 1/5s.
It Has gotten to the point where I don’t have any immortal four stars in my crew, and on mondays, I immediately freeze my weekend cadets for my weekday cadets, and vice versa on saturdays.
I hate having to use honor to immortalize freezer bait super rares, but I’ve been doing so to avoid having to toss super rare crew acquired through voyages.

Are any of you dealing with this right now?
In the same boat. I'm also a VIP0, full 1-2-3 captain with 115 slots. I don't avoid Legendaries, though, as many of them do well in Voyages even at 1/5, and I find 6+ hour Voyages are a great source of super-rare drops. Particularly when you can push the trip to 7+ hours.
For similar reasons, I keep three FF/FE super-rares active who always seem to help me get to 7+ hours Voyages, and only replace them when another Legendary or 3/4 gives me equivalent or better Voyage benefits.
I also dislike using honor to finish fully fusing my 3/4 super-rares, but I keep a floor of 200,000 honor for a rainy day, and anything I build up above that I give myself permission to use, when I need space, on any 3/4 Purple crew that isn't yet in the Time Portal that aren't making an active contribution to Voyages/Skirmishes.
Mainly, I've just adjusted my mindset to treating the super-rares as my new rares, and not being afraid to toss out a middle of the road 1/4 to make room for 2/4 or above.
